Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken thighs (skin-on preferred)
- 2 packs of ramen noodles (instant, discard flavor packet)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon oil (for searing)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pan used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth to the garlic and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and a pinch of chili flakes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Toss the cooked noodles into the creamy garlic sauce and stir until well coated.
- Slice the cooked chicken and place on top of the saucy noodles.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and extra chili flakes if desired.
